For some reason, you're saying that my mind fixated on the fact that you said undocumented. And this reminded me of the absurdity of all of this. The difference is literally some pieces of paper. The difference is literally a roll of the dice spawn point from one side of the border or another. I'd have to allow this to like totally dominate our lives.

And to sort of pull us a bit back onto the track, you can also see the mirrors between the current Palestinian struggle and the ongoing Mapuche struggle. And even going back to this time that I've been discussing the Mapuche struggle of the past. Because despite all of this colonial expansion, the Umpuche resisted not only militarily, but culturally. They held on to their language.

They held on to their customs. They held on to their spiritual practices. They held on to their identity in defiance of assimilationist policies. And across the Andes, meanwhile, Argentina was pursuing a similarly aggressive campaign. which is known as the conquest of the desert.

This was led by General Julio Argentino Roca in the 1870s and 1880s, and this really sought to eradicate and displace all the indigenous groups that were in the area, including the Mapuche, who had lived in the fertile Pampas and Patagonian regions, to secure valuable land for, wait for it, cattle ranching, agriculture, and European settler expansion.

Cattle ranching, as in, you know, the whole meat trade. The cows are more important than the people. Exactly. And the demand for the cows is more important than the people. You see this violence of agricultural expansion in other places as well.

As I said, I was reading one, and one of the things she notes is that part of what pushed the American westward expansion was that they were growing cotton And cotton is extremely water-intensive. And historically, cotton was grown in a polyculture. It was grown with other plants, right? With these cotton monocultures, it really quickly strips the soil of its nutrients.

And so they were pushing westward because they kept on having to find new land to grow the cotton on. And of course, who was working that cotton? And who was working those plantations? Just exploitation all the way down. And all that just to feed this rapacious appetite of expansion.
